Hello to all of you this morning.I have a 1955 GMC 100 2nd series that has a OEM style blinker assembly that looks like this one from american classics
http://www.americanclassic.com/images/TSA57.jpg.
1st question I havent been able to find any schematics to identify which color wire is what so I can try and get these to work I did replace the flasher unit already just to make sure.
2nd question the white wire that comes out out of the brake switch is white and looks like it runs to the steering coluum. The feed wire into the switch is orange and is hot all the time. I took a meter to the switch and it seems to be working fine but I dont have any brake lights at this point either any help or suggestion you all might have I thanks you for in advance.

schematic last page here ... the feed for the tail lights goes via the signal switch, which simply interrupts the selected light, your lack of brake lights is likely some other part of the brake circuit - if you don't have the shop manual wiring diagram, the Chevy one might work

That should read 'the feed for the brakelights goes via the signal switch'. The feed for the tail lights goes via the headlight switch.
